“I have a simple rule when it comes to legislation. I ask three questions ‘is it right? Is it constitutional? Is it necessary?’ If the answer to any of those questions is ‘no,’ I will reject the legislation,” stated Tom Hoefling.

Hoefling was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1960, and he moved to Iowa shortly after. He has lived in Iowa for most of his life since.

According to his website, “Tom is a long-time national conservative political activist, writer, publisher, organizer, and consultant. He is known primarily for his pro-life work and his defense of traditional marriage. He has also been a long-time fierce advocate for the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, private property rights, economic liberty, fundamental tax reform, secure borders, and the maintenance of American sovereignty and security through a Reaganite peace through strength foreign policy.”

In regards to his pro-life action, Hoefling stands against the government funding of planned parenthood, stating, “the idea that we can be funding mass murders is horrible.”

Hoefling is also against the legalization of gay marriage, stating “there is no such thing as gay marriage. God made marriage. It is what it is. This whole process is destroying the family and harming the First Amendment rights of those who oppose gay marriage.”

Hoefling intends to do more than just get people talking about his campaign. He hopes to take the White House this November, as he stated “the awareness of the American people to the betrayal they’ve watched under our current bipartisan system is rising. The only thing keeping this system alive is the presidential election. I want to show poeple that America can raise principled leaders who won’t kowtow to money and media. In short, I want to raise the standards of American politics.

Tom Hoefling on Government:

"Just as 'good fences make for good neighbors,' good government is mainly about knowing where the legitimate boundaries are, and having the courage to defend those borders forcefully. This is true in terms of the defense of our territory, our security, and our national sovereignty, but it also applies to the sworn duty of all of those in government to equally protect the God-given, unalienable rights of each individual person, from their creation onward, their sacred obligation to stay well within the enumerated powers of our constitutions, and of the role legitimate government must play in balancing the competing rights and interests of the people, in order to establish justice."
